KD談LeBron如何使他成長！「人們說LeBron James會是下一個Michael Jordan！」 精選

Kevin Durant最近談到了洛杉磯湖人LeBron James如何影響在馬里蘭長大後的自己成為一名更好的球員。
LeBron James比Kevin Durant大四歲，KD最近在The Corp播客上對Barstool Big Cat和Alex Rodriguez表示，自從他九年級在ESPN上看到LeBron James以來，他一直成為了自己的目標。

Kevin Durant憶述當時在讀九年級的時候，有一天打開ESPN看到人們說LeBron James會是下一個Michael Jordan。當時只有身高6尺2寸的Kevin Durant本來只是一個校隊備用球員，直到9年級才成為真正的校隊。當他看來LeBron James就是最好的球員，因此必須要追上他或者在職業生涯中的某個時刻與LeBron對視。這些記憶總是在Kevin Durant的腦海中迴盪。當時意識到這位新人就是下一位Michael Jordan。

“Well since I was in ninth grade and I turned on ESPN one day, LeBron James was the guy that people said is the next [Michael] Jordan. So in my mind, I was a 6’2” like JV player, I didn’t play varsity until my 9th grade year,” Kevin Durant said.

“In my mind I was like this is the best player. So, I have to be as good as this or I have to look him in the eyes at some point in my career. So, that was always in the back of my mind as I worked, as I played games. Because that was what was told to me, because that was the new guy, that was the next Jordan.”

多年來，Kevin Durant和LeBron James在場外建立了深厚的友誼。他們二人曾經三度在總決賽中碰面，Durant則兩次獲勝。Kevin Durant和LeBron James都將會成為NBA歷史上最偉大的兩位球員。LeBron曾經與克利夫蘭騎士和邁阿密熱火一起獲得過三個總冠軍，還有三個總決賽MVP和四個常規賽MVP頭銜。而Durant則是兩次總冠軍外加兩次總決賽MVP，還有四次得分王和一次常規賽MVP。

Durant可能會帶領籃網捲土重來成為下個賽季的冠軍爭奪者，Durant希望有機會在2021年第四次總決賽中與LeBron相遇。
